Answer:
Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)
Step-by-step explanation:
There employees are 6 secretaries, 5 consultants and 4 partners in the firm.
a.) The probability that a secretary wins in the first draw
=
b.) The probability that a secretary wins a ticket on second draw. It has been given that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant.
p(secretary wins on second draw | consultant wins on first draw)
=
= .
The probability that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant a secretary wins a ticket on second draw = is not true.
The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw =
c.) The probability that a consultant wins on the first draw =
d.) The probability of two secretaries winning both tickets
= (probability of a secretary winning in the first draw) × (The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw)
=
Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)
All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y
My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.
_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y
My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.
